Chapter 388 The left hand has not healed

Lin Feng's heart felt like it was filled with warmth, a feeling of happiness and emotion at being deeply cared for by his beloved. He slowly raised his arms, and hugged Chen Xin'er back with strength and tenderness, pressing her delicate body tightly against him. His palms gently stroked her back, again and again, as if soothing a frightened deer. His voice was low and mellow, with a hint of relief at having survived a disaster and a doting on his lover, as he whispered, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. I've woken up well, haven't I? All the nightmares are gone. I'm still by your side and will never leave again."

Chen Xiner raised her tearful little face, looked at Lin Feng with tearful eyes, and sobbed, "Do you know? You were just a little bit away from leaving me forever. I seemed to see endless darkness swallowing me, and the whole world lost its color at that moment and collapsed into nothingness." Her eyes were full of fear and dread, an unforgettable experience of being on the brink of life and death, as if she had been wandering on the cold edge of death for a long time, and had just been pulled back to this warm world by Lin Feng's awakening.

Lin Feng looked at Chen Xin'er's pitiful appearance, his heart filled with pity. His lips curled up slightly, outlining a gentle and charming smile. That smile was like the warm spring sun, instantly dispelling the haze in Chen Xin'er's heart. He gently wiped the tears from her cheek with his fingers, his movements as gentle as if he were handling the most precious treasure in the world.

At that moment, Chen Xin'er suddenly felt struck by lightning, suddenly aware of the presence of others. A blush instantly spread across her cheeks, like the clouds on the horizon. She hurriedly let go of Lin Feng and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, her movements tinged with a hint of girlish shyness and embarrassment. She stole a glance at Xu Tian and Chen Yu standing nearby, a mixture of emotions welling up in her. To mask her inner panic and loss of composure, she feigned anger and raised her hand, giving Lin Feng a light slap. With a soft snort, she said, "It's all your fault. You made me lose my composure like this." Then, she turned and quickly walked aside, her back to the others, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. Her figure seemed a little frail in the morning light, yet she exuded a stubborn and endearing presence.

Seeing this, Xu Tian and Chen Yu exchanged a smile, their smiles reflecting both joy at their friend's awakening and amusement at Chen Xin'er's daughter's gestures. They hurried forward, Xu Tian's eyes filled with concern and anxiety. He leaned forward slightly, carefully examining Lin Feng, his gaze roaming over him as if searching for something. His voice was tinged with nervousness and anticipation as he asked, "Lin Feng, how are you feeling right now? Are you feeling unwell?" His brow furrowed slightly, the worry in his eyes as solid as a physical weight.

Chen Yu also echoed, "Yes, you slept for a whole day, which scared us a lot. We stayed here, feeling anxious, afraid that something might happen to you." His expression was serious and earnest, and his eyes were full of sincere care and concern for his friend.

Lin Feng gently moved his body, feeling the strength gradually returning to him. He stretched his muscles slightly, making a soft "crackling" sound. A confident smile graced his face, his eyes bright and resolute. He said, "It's fantastic. I feel like I'm filled with endless strength right now, as if I've been reborn. The fatigue and pain of the past are gone." His voice was filled with a love for life and a longing for the future, a calm and open-mindedness that comes from having triumphed over the shadow of death.

However, Lin Feng's heart was also filled with doubts. He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "How could I recover so quickly? There must be something strange going on." His mind raced, trying to figure out the reason behind this.

At that moment, Ping Zilan gracefully descended from the warship like a fairy. Clad in a white spacesuit, she resembled an alien. With graceful steps, she approached Lin Feng, a gentle smile on her face. She explained, "This is because we injected you with a very special medical agent. This agent possesses miraculous properties, significantly enhancing cell activity and accelerating cell division and regeneration. Furthermore, this coffin-like medical device, yet containing a myriad of hidden secrets, has created an ideal recovery environment for your body, like a warm and safe haven, effectively promoting wound healing. Finally, it's all thanks to your incredibly powerful healing abilities. These three factors complement each other perfectly, allowing you to recover as fully as before in such a short time." Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a yellow oriole escaping a valley, or the gurgling of a mountain spring, gently flowing in the ears of everyone, leaving them feeling relaxed and refreshed, their words enchanting.

After listening to Ping Zilan's explanation, Lin Feng's mind suddenly became clear. He nodded slightly, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes, and said, "I see. But why is my left hand still in excruciating pain?" As he spoke, he slowly raised his left hand, his brows furrowed tightly, a look of pain on his face, slightly distorted by the pain.

Ping Zilan lowered her eyes to look at Lin Feng's left hand and said softly, "Your left hand was broken during that brutal battle. Although you have been carefully treated and are on the road to recovery, it will still take some time to fully heal. It will take about half a month. By then, you will be able to use your left hand as flexibly and freely as before."

Lin Feng understood. He looked at Ping Zilan with gratitude, his eyes gleaming with genuine gratitude like bright stars. He bowed slightly and said, "Lin Feng will always remember this great favor. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to awaken so quickly, or even remain asleep forever. I have no way to repay this kindness, but I promise that when the opportunity arises, I will repay you with all my heart." His voice was firm and sincere, each word a vow uttered from the depths of his heart.

Ping Zilan waved her hand gently, with a faint smile on her face, and said: "No need to be so polite, this is all our job. You should rest and recover from your injuries. I hope you can recover your former vitality and style soon." In her heart, she did not regard Lin Feng's promise as a necessity, but just regarded it as a momentary expression of gratitude.

Yet, Lin Feng felt an unspeakable sense of helplessness and bitterness. He knew full well that he came from distant Earth, a place separated from here by an endless galaxy. He didn't know if he'd ever have the chance to return home, nor when he'd be able to fulfill his promise to Ping Zilan. Yet, he spoke these words without hesitation, for they were his deepest, most sincere thoughts and convictions.
